[PATCH v2][net-next] soc: fsl: dpio: Unsigned compared against 0 in qbman_swp_set_irq_coalescing()

Coverity complains of unsigned compare against 0. There are 2 cases in
this function:

1821        itp = (irq_holdoff * 1000) / p->desc->qman_256_cycles_per_ns;

CID 121131 (#1 of 1): Unsigned compared against 0 (NO_EFFECT)
unsigned_compare: This less-than-zero comparison of an unsigned value is never true. itp < 0U.
1822        if (itp < 0 || itp > 4096) {
1823                max_holdoff = (p->desc->qman_256_cycles_per_ns * 4096) / 1000;
1824                pr_err("irq_holdoff must be between 0..%dus\n", max_holdoff);
1825                return -EINVAL;
1826        }
1827
    	unsigned_compare: This less-than-zero comparison of an unsigned value is never true. irq_threshold < 0U.
1828        if (irq_threshold >= p->dqrr.dqrr_size || irq_threshold < 0) {
1829                pr_err("irq_threshold must be between 0..%d\n",
1830                       p->dqrr.dqrr_size - 1);
1831                return -EINVAL;
1832        }

Fix this by removing the comparisons altogether as they are incorrect. Zero is
a possible value in either case. Also fix a minor comment typo and update the
2 pr_err() calls to use %u formatting as well as be more precise regarding
the exact error.

v1 - check itp and irq_threshold for 0.
v2 - drop the checks for comparison to 0. Update pr_err() calls with precise language
     about the error.
